is possible?

console.read doesn't read previous output, instead wait input.

console.read method - msdn

reads next character standard input stream.

the read method blocks return while type input characters; terminates when press enter key. pressing enter appends platform-dependent line termination sequence input (for example, windows appends carriage return-linefeed sequence). subsequent calls read method retrieve input 1 character @ time. after final character retrieved, read blocks return again , cycle repeats.

if intentd overwrite previous output new content, use console.setcursorposition. see this answer
